The teacher may choose to do both or include other writing projects and/or writing focus areas that respond to students’ interests and/or writing development needs. In these parallel composition projects, teachers will have a choice of two projects: one narrative and one literary analysis. In the English lessons of Unit 5, students will focus on analyzing the Shakespearean drama Macbeth, focusing particularly on Shakespeare’s development of characters and theme. While the Composition projects may occasionally include content unrelated to English 10, most have both a skill and content connection to the work students are doing in their English 10 class. For teachers who are interested in including these Composition projects but do not have a separate Composition course, we have included a “Suggested Placement” to note where these projects would most logically fit into the English unit. Below, we have included Supplementary Composition Projects to reflect the material covered in our Composition course.
